Thanks for the reminder. I hate it when I write without thinking. I don't
even like it when I think without writing.

But if we're talking about *displaying* dates, I'd do anything I could to
avoid using all numerals. SOMEONE will misinterpret it. If you use the month
name, it's virtually impossible.

Are there circs where you wouldn't want to use the month name?
